Paragraph 13 Product checksF1
The approved body chosen by the manufacturer must carry out product checks or have them carried out at random intervals determined by that body, in order to verify the quality of the internal checks on the explosive, taking into account, amongst other things, the technological complexity of the explosives and the quantity of production.
The approved body must ensure that—
it takes an adequate sample of the final product on site before its placing on the market; and
the sample is examined and appropriate tests as identified by the relevant parts of the designated standards, or equivalent tests set out in other relevant technical specifications, are carried out to check the conformity of the explosive with the type described in the Type examination certificate and with the relevant requirements of these Regulations.
Where a sample does not conform to the acceptable quality level, the approved body must take appropriate measures.
The acceptance sampling procedure to be applied is intended to determine whether the manufacturing process of the explosive performs within acceptable limits, with a view to ensuring conformity of the explosive.
The manufacturer must, under the responsibility of the approved body, affix the approved body's identification number during the manufacturing process.
